Abstract

Business relationships between customer firms and their logistics service providers represent an increasingly important element of today’s supply chains and thus, the success of such logistics outsourcing relationships has crucial relevance for the competitiveness of a supply chain. With his three papers on success factors in logistics outsourcing, Alexander de Grahl provides relevant insights regarding this important research question. In detail, adopting different perspectives in the three papers, the work shows how logistics service providers, customer firms and the two parties together can contribute to successful logistics outsourcing relationships.

Abstract

Being one of the biggest transition markets, Russia plays an increasing role within the global economy. Non-Russian firms are expanding into Russia in order to exploit the abundant growth opportunities. Simultaneously they face stronger competition in their home markets due to the entrance of global Russian players which try to explore opportunities abroad. Based on the results of 177 survey responses, Tobias Weigl shows that the simple transfer of managerial and organizational skills, techniques, values and culture from developed countries to Russia is a false assumption among academics and practitioners. While executives from developed markets are driven by a rational economic model, which includes objective rules and arm’s length transaction structures, successful businesses in Russia need to incorporate the remaining influence of collectivism, paternalism and ‘blat’. Thus, successfully conducting business in Russia is based on network capitalism and relationships that co-exist within the pervasive environment of the Russian state.
